• Mentoring and training engineers
• Driving a culture of continuous improvement

Who you are

Your skills and experience will include:

• Managing the performance and ways of working of a cross functional product delivery team at the individual and team level
• Designing and delivering secure, scalable and performant cloud-hosted solutions (ideally Azure)
• Detailed knowledge of how to organise and run a team within a DevOps model, ideally using tools such as New Relic, Dynatrace, and PagerDuty
• Collaborating with other teams in a distributed organization to manage dependencies and intra-team deliveries, both personally and through the Atlassian suite
• Prioritise work offering differing types of value, with the ability to balance trade-offs
